Saddened to hear of this. Such a welcoming figure on my final year elective as a student, and a real inspiration - one of the people who inspired me to take up Cardiology. A genuine gentleman.

New in JACC Heart Failure:

Metolazone + IV Furosemide led to higher natriuresis; urine volume; and weight loss than IV furosemide alone or in combination with Acetazolamide in ambulatory #HF patients

#RHC is essential in #HF management starting from;
🔔 #HF
🔔 #CardiogenicShock
🔔 #LVAD
🔔 #HeartTx

But‼️
You need to do it correctly 🔝🚨

Here’s everything you need to know about #RHC from this month’s issue of #JACCHF @JACCJournals, a #tweetorial : ⤵️

👥2672
⏰August 2001 and December 2021
🧪40,970 creatinine measurements,
👉↘️ eGFR was observed in the entire cohort, with a slope of −1.70 mL/min/1.73 m2 per year
📌 Older patients
📌 diabetes
📌HFpEF
📌higher baseline eGFR
📌elevated hospitalization rates, experienced more pronounced decreases in the eGFR
